Customer Ratings & Reviews

I picked up the Buds Pro 2 because I wanted to give Pixel a shot when it comes to my ear pods. I was using Galaxy Buds Pro 2 before with only minor complaints, with a Samsung phone. Now I have a Pixel 9 I wanted to try the same brand on both. Much like with Samsung, the automatic integration was superb. Upon initially opening the pods case, the phone automatically detects them and takes you through a rather seamless setup process. Here is a quick summary on my thoughts. Pros Great sound quality Extremely comfortable even after extended use Good battery life Active Noise Cancellation Cons AI stuff Software can be finnicky at first To start off with build and quality, these are more like Galaxy Buds than Apple airpods. There is no stem, its their own design which I prefer. The buds feature two fitting settings. Simply pop them in your ears and your in comfort mode, if you're doing physical activities give them a twist and the bud will grip into your ear (not as comfortable but its not bad). The only complaint I have with the build on these is the grey outside. I'd have preferred a solid black look, or maybe white, but the grey just stands out on the black earpiece. The Buds have built in touch controls that are very easy to learn, with simply presses for play/pause, swiping for volume up and down, double tap for skipping, and long presses for turning on and off noise cancellation. The long press is also assignable so you can swap that out with something else like the AI assistant. The buds come with a few different sizes for you to fit to your ear. I would recommend waiting until the setup process though before swapping them out for what you think is right. The software has a feature that will test the fitment in your ear for you. For me, the software and my own comfort decided on the already installed ear cups. The software itself is good for the most part. I did run into an issue (which is pretty common apparently) where on first setup the software will not give you a Conversation Detection toggle. This has nothing to do with the software version or the firmware on the device, it simply will appear after some time. Once it did show up, I had no issues with the software. It has built in Hearing Health features, can tell you the decibels being put out by the ear buds as well as your surrounding environment and tell you when you should stop listening if you've been listening too long. Sound quality as stated was great. I found them to be slightly better than my Galaxy buds, and the built in EQ settings were nice (I prefer the bass boost mode). They get plenty loud, up to 95db as the software measured them. The sound quality didn't seem to distort at higher volume levels either like you'd have with other listening devices. I tested out an all day use with these when I first got them. The battery life of the buds never ran all the way down, though I wasn't listening to music all day. I used it with both noise cancellation on and off with the noise cancellation coming in handy for the really loud environments. The built in AI coprocessor supposedly real time tunes the sound for your environment but honestly I couldn't tell a difference. What I wish it was useful for was the Conversation Detection. I was pretty excited to try out that feature, but to my dismay it didn't work that well. If you are the one initiating the conversation it will pause your audio just fine. But if someone is talking at you, or having a conversation around you, it doesn't do anything until you talk. So I feel like thats a bit of a miss. Overall very happy with the Pixel Buds Pro 2 though. They work better in almost all regards compared to my previous devices while being extremely comfortable.

I am glad the case still retains that iconic eggshell look and feel. It just feels so good in the hand and is quite pocketable. The buds are nice as well, and while I like the Hazel color, I can’t help but want the Wintergreen for fun or Porcelain to match the case. The buds are quite small and are super comfortable to wear for hours. The “fin” allows for a very secure fit which stayed on no matter how much I shook my head. At the beginning, they felt like they were not lodged well, and the buds were kind of “out there” since I could barely feel them. However, I realized that this is actually a feature. They are great for working out, especially since they’re IP54 rated, and the case is IPX4(!). So, a little water or rain won’t be an issue. Having a Pixel phone, the buds paired automatically with no fuss and were updated automatically. I have not had any issues or disconnections, and noticed no lag or sync issues, especially in gaming mode. It also paired well with multi-point to my Pixel tablet. The touch controls are very responsive and intuitive, and I am glad everything can be controlled through them. The added AI features are welcome and makes me want to use Gemini much more. The battery life is not too shabby. I clocked them at about 7.5 hours with ANC/transparency mode on, which suits me just fine. The case adds 22 more hours. and is Qi wireless charger ready. When choosing the right size tips, the “silent seal” noise cancellation is quite decent, almost eliminating all low sounds, such as traffic and crowd noise, although high frequency noise can still come through, especially when taking the subway train. This is a non-issue when listening to audio. But what is truly impressive is the transparency mode. When on, everything sounds natural with no seemingly artificial augmentation, I can carry on a conversation without that “in my head” audio, making me forget that I was actually wearing them. The conversation detection mode is cool, but since I like to hum along music, did not have it on for too long. The call quality is superb. I was heard loud and clear. In transparency mode, it does feel like I was having a conversation in person. The integrated app on the Pixel phone provides robust customization. There, I can update the firmware, customize touch controls, and adjust the 5-band equalizer. I appreciate the “find my device” feature which not only tells you where the buds are, but also makes them ring. All the tech is great, but how’s the sound? Well, I am happy to report that the buds did not disappoint. I am a little sad that there are no Hi-Res LDAC or aptX codec support. However, out of the box, the 11mm drivers deliver very detailed audio that is more on the reference side. The bass is distinct and punchy, with a subdued sub-woofer feel. The midrange is rich and natural, which is great for vocals and spoken content, and the treble soars without being harsh. This is my preference, but for those who like more bass, or like to tinker with the EQ, the app offers a lot of customization and presets. The imaging is very clear, and the soundstage is expansive. I tried the spatial audio, which is great if you have a compatible source, but can also hurt the music experience. I found the head-tracking kind of useless with music, but interesting while watching content on my tablet. Lastly, I appreciate the Hearing Wellness feature which (hopefully) helps in protecting my hearing. In the end, I am quite happy with the Buds Pro 2. It all came down to audio quality and comfort. Since I still use the originals, I trust these will last for a very long time. The other features are just icing on the cake.

The quality was nice however I would like it more if it connected to my laptop as seamlessly as my iPhone.

The best earbuds I've ever owned, well worth the upgrade! They are so light that my ears are fatigued after wearing them.

Product is very nice and I got good help and support from best buy during the buying process.

Best ear buds. I used to use air pods but when I switched to the pixel phone, these ended up being better

Overall its a very good earbuds for day-to-day usuage . Suits perfectly for my google pixel 9 pro. Unfortunately out of 450000 ear data points, my ear shape doesn't came , it seems . My ears are smaller than normal and started getting pain after 15mins of usuage. Google ahould come up with a better model that suits all ears.

I’m using the new Pixel Pro buds 2 with the new Pixel 9 Pro XL phone. The two work wonderfully together. The buds ship in a cream colored matte finish oval charging case that even slightly resembles the OEM charger for the phone. Although the buds can be used with other phones, The Pixel Pro Buds 2 are best paired with Pixel phones. The relationship is so natural and seamless, it reminds me of a similar set of “Pro” buds used exclusively with my other phone brand. The Pixel buds appeared on the Pixel phone display automatically as soon as I opened the charging case lid. I said yes when asked if I wanted to connect to the buds and the phone took care of everything else. The Pixel buds app was already preinstalled and ready for use. I wasn’t required to download the app or perform any manual pairing like other phones require. The Pixel buds app provides the ability to update the buds firmware, adjust sound options and settings, and help guide users into establishing a proper tip fit and seal. Sound quality is pretty good. I wouldn’t crown these the best sounding buds ever, but they are clearly in the upper tier. Music has a warm sound profile with decent bass and clear highs by default (no EQ). Instruments and voices have good distinction and blend nicely with no noticeable distortion. The Pixel buds offer six EQ presets, a five-band manual EQ, and spatial sound option for sound enhancement. It also has guided setups for ensuring the fit and seal provide the best possible sound quality and noise cancelling. The buds are also good for voice conversations, whether phone calls or videoconferencing. Voices are clear and decipherable on my end and the mics do a great job of ensuring parties on the other end hear me loud and clear. The clear calling feature helps improve call quality in noisy environments. ANC works well, but again isn’t among the best I’ve tried. It’s effective in most instances but certain higher pitched sounds tend to bleed through. The Pixel buds Pro 2 battery life is on par with similar options. I get about a week of listening time between charges. The case re-charges the buds between listening sessions and itself can be charged via Qi wireless or the USB-C port. Oddly, no charging accessories were included, not even a USB-C cable. Thankfully, I have plenty of extra chargers and cables, including the Pixel 9 phone charger which I also use for the buds. The only thing included besides the buds and case are extra sets of tips in different sizes. Among extras are integration with Google Gemini AI for voice driven AI commands and full conversation chatbot capability. The buds also have a locator feature that can locate the last known location of the buds even if offline. They appear on a map in-app and a sound can be sent to help pinpoint location. To summarize, the Pro 2 buds sound great, have decent battery life, good AI integration, good ANC, good communications performance and decent extras. Solid performance across the board, except for the exclusion of any charging accessories. I don’t know why it bothers me so much, but it does. This is my first pair of Pixel buds, so maybe I’m overreacting at something that has always been that way. It just feels like omitting something as cheap as a small cheesy USB-C cable is a sign of the times. A race to see who can give consumers the least in return for the most. Ok, soap box moment over.

If you already own the 1st gen of the Pixel Buds and are looking to replace them, then the Pixel Buds Pro 2 are a pretty good upgrade. Sound, comfort and features are great at the price point. Even non-audiophiles will think they are a looker. In the great recyclable packaging comes the flat egg charging case, buds, multiple sizes of ear tips and a quick start guide. No charging cable provided so you must supply your own USB C power or use a wireless charger. The build quality feels great for both the charger and buds. The magnet to hold in the buds are super strong and will offer some degree of protection if dropped. Setup is pretty straight forward. You can either pair them directly to your device or if you have Android, you can download and use (I highly recommend this) the Pixel Buds app. Using the app unlocks the buds to their full potential. App features a multitude of useful features like ear tip seal checker, preset EQs, customizable EQs, digital assistant (Gemini), buds finder etc. Comfort is excellent for the Pixel Buds Pro 2. You can just stick them in your ear for a good seal and you are good or you can with the new design is slightly twist it as it comes with a little "stem" that sticks out to lock with the lower inner part of your ear for extra stability. I have been using them at the gym and not once did they feel loose or about to fall off at any point. Mind you, these have a rating of IP54 so splashes of water or sweat is no problem but they are not submersible like others at IPX7. Battery life is standard for the BT Buds. With ANC turned off the buds can give you up to 12hrs. With ANC on (default setting) and prefer it on, you will roughly get about 8hrs. I found this to be true as while I worked a typical work day, the battery level at 5pm was around 6% from a full charge at 8am. Google claims 5 minutes in the charging case can give you about 1.5hrs of life. ANC (Active Noise Cancellation) was about par with most other buds on the market I have tried. I recommend leaving it on. Pass through had too much of a hissing noise to my liking and just turning it off had no effect to me on anything. Sound quality is great. With the EQ presets or your own customized one, everything sounded excellent. Calls were standard and had no issues with people on the other side hearing me and can make out everything I said just fine. Audiophiles corner. The buds I found were only compatible with SBC and AAC codecs (also heard OPUS as well). They are not compatible with LDAC or any of the aptX codecs with make me sad coming from a flagship product. Other than that, the Google Pixel Buds Pro 2 are a solid contender in the BT earbuds market and have a excellent price to performance ratio.

Been using Pixel Buds 2 for about a week and they are about as good as you can hope for in the Pixel ear bud family. For the price, these will be hard to beat and still give you everything that ties them to your Pixel ecosystem. The Buds sound great at any volume. Although, settings in the app can let you know when you listened too long at higher volumes that could lead hearing damage, kinda neat. ANC is perfect for all but the most demanding uses that I mention below. And being able to get a conversation going with Gemini is easier with a long touch and summoning the google dudes. Touch pad is a bit better for me this time, even though the touch zone is smaller with a new more compact better fitting design. Setup/Design/Comfort: Setup on a Pixel phone is literally just opening the case and opting in to screen prompts. Other phones might be the same, but I used a Pixel Pro 9 series phone and it was brain dead simple. Some might need to get the app from the store. Design wise, the case is essentially the same shape/size this year, except that it can emit sounds for charge status and battery level, have not heard it yet. The buds design changed quite a bit from the 1st gen. They are smaller, easier to pull from case, and include a small fin to lock them in the ear. So far, they stay put very well, not that it was a huge issue for me last time. More vigorous activities should be less of an issue for most. Fit is great and only requires a minimal twist to lock into the ear. My manly ears could wear these all day with out much issue. App: Very thorough and easy to navigate app to change settings and tweak audio quality. First thing will be to update firmware. After that, the biggest reason to use the app is to find your audio preset or equalizer under "Sound" tab. You get 6 presets or use the 5 band equalizer to dial in the profile you prefer. Then, maybe set ANC options. Lastly, definitely go into "Hearing Wellness" and make sure to tick on the "volume level notifications" tab. Very useful info. You only get 2 ears and this might help keep them safe for the long run. Sound: As I like a heavier bass preference to my listening. These do well, and can put a nice bit of thump in between my ears. Some songs just don't deliver and others do, so you will need to find your go to music and dial it in. Bitrate of my audio might be the issue here, not the buds. You will need the better/higher audio bitrates to see the buds shine. I think the sweet spot when dialed in with the apps 5 band equalizer will get you very close to preferred audio bliss. Perfect bass is a lot to ask for when earbuds are so small like these are. No doubt these sound great. Other feature like Spatial audio works well with the included demo, but I do not encounter many music tracks to test beyond the demo with spatial audio. I do leave it turned on in case a random track has this ability. Touch Pad/ANC: The touchpads are often so much of pain when testing different buds. Big fat rough fingers may be part of my inability to get accurate taps. Luckily Pixel Buds 2 even though smaller, are pretty responsive for track forward, pause and volume. Pixel Buds 2 uses the most common taps gestures. My hiccup is always getting the timing for 3 taps to replay a track. Even the Pixel Buds 2 hiccups here. Either I get pause or the next track. Wish Pixel would adopt a right bud and left bud full customization. Not just the current assistant/ANC option. For me, having a left earbud double tab control rewind and right do forward is better. Maybe a firmware update can offer this. Anyways, day to day use answering a call or going forward on your tracks work reliably. The best is the volume, simple swipe forward or backwards to raise/lower worked every time. The ANC - Active Noise Cancellation, Is great. It will eliminate most audio noise from outside influences around you. You will be in a cocoon of what you want to hear from the buds. While its very good. The Pixel Buds 2 did not beat the ANC of a different set of buds I have that can cancel out the noise from my zero turn mower, granted this is an extreme case noise to muffle. The buds make the music very audible, but still have mower noise at half volume. The other side of ANC I love about the Buds 2, the new Transparent ANC audio quality. It might sound better than real life without the buds in ear. And the feature can be activated when you start talking. Great for an environment where you might need to interact with people occasionally, not so much if you like to sing out loud while listening to music, as every time you sing/hum the audio stops, lol. I prefer to leave talk off and stick to long press to activate ANC levels. Ai: While I think the new A1 chip in the buds has made the buds better, the use for Ai is subjective. They do help with ANC processing as I mentioned above. The "Hey google" summons Gemini and works as good as it always did now with updated google tasks. You can also summon Gemini Live for a conversation with "Hey google, let's talk". Fun for various uses, and can be very handy when you need someone to talk to as a sound board for ideas. Calls (Clear Calling in Pixel settings) also seem to benefit from the new chip. Call quality is very good for both ends. No one asked if I was on headset or in a tunnel. Good set of buds and an an improvement over gen 1.

I’ve never been a big fan of ear buds in general. I’ve tried out a couple of lower priced brands, but they were either uncomfortable to use for very long or didn’t fit well enough and for the most part, the noise cancelling features were underwhelming and unintuitive. However, I guess the old adage that “you get what you pay for” is true in this case because I am truly impressed so far with the Google Pixel Buds Pro 2 in my tests so far and I’ve found myself wearing them more than any other in ear speakers I’ve ever used. Ironically, one of the reasons I never considered Pixel Buds before was that in pictures they always looked so big and awkward. Having never seen them in person, I was completely surprised at how small they actually are. To this end, in my review pics I’ve included a coin for scale to give you an idea of their actual size. Even the charging case was smaller than I imagined and fit nicely in a jacket or pants pocket. (And I really appreciate that Google has wireless charging; makes things so easy!) The initial pairing and setting up my Pixel 8 Pro were seamless and easy to complete. Device setup is one of the things that I think Google doesn’t get enough credit for; it really gets better in every new iteration. Extra high points for the controls on the buds being so intuitive; with other buds I had to constantly refer to the help docs on how to do simple things like change the volume or take a call, but the Pixel Buds are so instinctual that I was up and running immediately. Sound quality is a subjective thing, as everyone’s hearing is different as are their preferences for volume and equalization so it’s a hard metric to review. I will say that while I wouldn’t consider myself a professional audiophile, I was a working musician for years (mostly in clubs and some studio work) and I found the quality of reproduction to be quite remarkable, even without any equalization adjustments. Personally, I don’t know if I’ll even change the EQ as I was quite pleased with the balance and spectrum. To me, a few of the standout features are the fit, the noise cancellation and the integration with Google’s new Gemini assistant. It's amazing how a few design tweaks from the original Pixel Buds have made all the difference. I had to ask a buddy to check out their version 1 buds and the difference is night and day. The Pixel Bud Pro 2’s insert easily and with a simple twist, lock firmly but gently in place. The medium size ear tips installed by default felt quite comfortable and sealed my ears well, though Google thoughtfully includes different size ear tips for a custom fit. (I liked how the setup procedure even tested how well they sealed!) I could see myself wearing these for long periods of time and in fact I watched an entire movie without any discomfort. As an aside, I was surprised how well the sound quality was when I paired the buds to my ShieldTV box. I have a pretty decent 5.1 theater set up with quality speakers and a great AV amp. I’d never tried headphones or ear buds for a movie because I felt like I’d be taking a step back in quality. But watching a movie with the buds was a whole new experience for me. It was immersive and the Spatial Sound setting really gave it good separation and theater-like quality. Combined with the Automatic Noise Cancelling, it was a worthwhile alternative to annoying my neighbors if I want to watch an action flick late at night! The Noise Cancelling was another standout for me; it really is impressive in its implementation. And as well as it works, the transparency settings allow you to cut background noise while still leaving you ‘situationally aware’. The addition of the Tensor chip to the buds is more than just window dressing; being able to run the noise cancelling algorithms on the buds themselves in real time is not only a major engineering accomplishment, but it also works incredibly well. Better than any other ANC buds I have tested to date, in fact. I’ve been playing with Gemini a lot lately and the integration with Gemini Live was a nice addition in my opinion. While I look forward to more integration with other Google services, Gemini has come a long way in a short time recently and I know that closer integration is likely weeks away. But for now, being able to have normal conversations with Gemini via the buds is not only fun, but really useful. In short, I’d highly recommend the Google Pixel Buds Pro 2 not only to anyone who is a fan of earbuds but also invite those who may have had underwhelming experiences in the past to check them out. They could change your opinion like they did mine.

When I unboxed the Google Pixel Buds Pro 2, I was at first a bit disappointed because the case looks exactly the same as the first generation except for a small hole to now emit sounds for the Find My Device feature. Then I opened the case and immediately noticed how much smaller the newer generation are. I thought they’d be too small but upon inserting them in my ear and twisting them into position I was sold. They are incredibly comfortable. The new model now includes a small and subtle fin that also help with fit. These may possibly be the best earbuds on the market for Android users. With a Google Pixel phone, like the Pixel 9 Pro Fold that I use, you already have the Pixel Buds app installed and the earbuds automatically pair. On any other device you can download the Pixel Buds app from the Google Play Store. Once paired, they can be linked to your Google account to work on any other Pixel device or Android 8+ device that has Google Play services enabled. They can even be paired to multiple Android devices and seamlessly switch between them. I can confirm this feature worked flawlessly on my Samsung Galaxy tablet. I only turned it on and saw a message that my Pixel Buds Pro 2 had connected and simply starting media on my tablet paused it on my phone. While listening to my tablet, a phone call came in and the music stopped as the Buds Pro 2 switched back to my phone. The new Pixel Buds Pro 2 includes a Tensor A1 chip that improves just about everything from the original including latency, noise cancelation, sound quality, and even battery life. Comparing them to the original, this isn’t just your typical new product marketing speak, the noise cancellation is remarkably better. With my old Pixel Buds, I could still hear my fan humming faintly in the background but that noise is just gone with the new model. It’s just as good as some of my over-ear cans. Transparency has also been improved dramatically. With the older ones and transparency on, I could hear myself talk which constantly reminded me the earbuds are in my ears. On the Pro 2, this is not the case, it’s much more natural and makes features like Conversation Assist so much better. The audio quality certainly sounds better compared to the original, but I honestly can’t tell if it’s actually better because I already thought the first gen buds had great quality. A large part of why it sounds so much better I think is because the comfort and noise cancellation is so much improved. In any case, they sound great, but if you need to tweak things, there is an EQ setting in the Pixel app. There are five default presets available for you like Heavy Bass or “Clarity” which hikes up the treble. You can also customize it and create your own preset. With Google’s new Find My Device feature, you can now track and play a sound on the case or either earbud themselves, which is useful when one falls behind a couch cushion. I carry mine around daily and am constantly misplacing them around the house so besides the improved noise cancellation and comfort this is my favorite new feature. The touch controls are intuitive. You can control the volume by swiping forward or backward on either earbud. A single tap for play pause, double tab for next track and triple for previous track. You can customize the touch “hold” gesture on either earbud to either toggle ANC or summon Gemini/Assistant. Pros: - Superb Sound Quality with Tensor A1 Chip - Great Bass Response - Intuitive Touch Controls - Fast Pairing on Android and Pixel - Includes Multiple Eartips - Wireless Charging - Spatial Audio Support - Conversation Detection - Find My Device - Gemini AI Conversational Support Cons: - None really – other than I wouldn’t recommend these for Apple iPhone users simply because you’ll be missing out on a lot of the features. Overall – These are excellent earbuds, a solid improvement over the first-gen especially in transparency and noise cancellation, a must have for Pixel owners.

he Pixel Buds 2 are a solid choice for anyone in the Google ecosystem. The noise canceling works surprisingly well for daily commutes and busy environments, effectively blocking out ambient chatter and traffic noise without feeling isolating. Comfort is where these buds really shine. The lightweight design and soft ear tips make them easy to wear for extended periods—I regularly use them for 2-3 hour stretches without any discomfort or ear fatigue. They stay secure during workouts without feeling like they're going to fall out. Sound quality is clear and balanced, with decent bass response for podcasts and music alike. The integration with Google Assistant is seamless, and the adaptive sound feature automatically adjusts volume based on your surroundings, which is a nice touch. Battery life is respectable at around 5 hours per charge, and the case provides additional charges for all-day use.

Google's Pixel Buds Pro 2 have arrived, and as a daily user of the original Pixel Buds Pro, I was eager to see how they stacked up. These updated earbuds promise improved comfort, a more secure fit, and enhanced noise cancellation thanks to Google's "Silent Seal 2.0" technology. After spending some time with them, I'm happy to report that the Pixel Buds Pro 2 deliver on these promises and more. Fit: Google has clearly refined the design for a more secure and comfortable fit. The addition of a small stabilizer wing allows for a subtle twist that locks the earbuds in place. While I never had major issues with the fit of the first generation, these feel noticeably more secure, even with vigorous head movement. I suspect they'll stay put even during intense workouts. Noise Cancelling: The original Pixel Buds Pro already had impressive noise cancellation, but the Pixel Buds Pro 2 take it to another level. Google claims "Silent Seal 2.0" offers twice the noise cancellation, and while I haven't had a chance to test them on a plane yet, they effectively silence the rumble of traffic and the chatter in my local coffee shop. Sound: The sound quality is simply amazing. Google's custom Tensor A1 chip now includes a dedicated signal path for music, bypassing the noise cancellation processing for a cleaner, more detailed sound. The bass is particularly impressive—deep, punchy, and well-defined. Case: The charging case is practically identical in size to the previous generation and even fits in my existing Nomad leather case. A welcome addition is the built-in speaker, which allows you to easily locate the case using Find My Device—a feature I frequently rely on. Overall: The Pixel Buds Pro 2 are a nice upgrade over their predecessors. They offer a winning combination of comfort, noise cancellation, and sound quality, making them a top contender in the wireless earbud market. If you're a Pixel owner, these are an easy recommendation. Even compared to my AirPods Pro, the Pixel Buds Pro 2 come out on top, particularly when it comes to call clarity. While the first-generation Pixel Buds Pro are still a good option if you can find them at a discount, the second generation truly raises the bar. In my opinion, we've reached a point where wireless earbuds can rival over-the-ear headphones in terms of audio quality, and the Pixel Buds Pro 2 are a prime example. 10/10 – Love them!

This are an outstanding pair of earbuds. These sound great, the bass is much more than than on the first pair. ANC is good, and while not the best, these do not make my head feel like it might explode. Transparency mode is the best I have ever heard. Battery is similarly outstanding. There is one problem though, and it's the fitment. This earbuds do not fit my ears very well and it takes a LOT of fiddling to get them to sit in my ears properly and be comfortable. The fitment is the only reason I cannot give them a 5-star review.

Honestly the best earbuds I've ever had, but for the last few years I've used only one pair, the Google Pixel Buds Pro. At first when I bought these and tried them out, I was like oh these just seem like the first ones. They are basically the same, but they're smaller, and so much more comfortable. They not only sound better, but they last much longer too. I can get a whole 8 hour work day in and then some most of the time with transparency mode on, due to my work environment. I have to say, Noise Cancellation and Transparency Mode both have improved tremendously with these over the first generation of the Pixel Buds Pro. I'll be honest, I'm all Google, and continue to use their products daily, but these really do stick out more to me. I recommend them, but really honestly only in a sale because they are quite steep. If you're in the market for a cheaper pair, I'd still recommend the Pixel Buds Pro first gen. Both generations are incredible though.

This headphones are excellent, hight quality and their battery lasts a long time, the design is beatifull, have a perfect size, active noise cancellation is really functional and permit have hight quality in sound and have a very fast connectivity with my google cellphone, it´s definitely an excellent purchase

Between features you didn't even know you needed, sound quality and the extra little touches, these earbuds are excellent. Even for those who may not have had the best luck with earbuds in the past. - Setup As a Pixel phone owner, setup could not have been more easy. I was prompted as soon as I opened the case to pair the buds with my phone. The process was extremely easy. Behind the initial pairing, there are a few cool options that you can enable or adjust, but out of the box, they're very easy to setup and use. - Software This is where I think that most of Google's hardware really shines. The software they include into their Pixel phones and other devices always really make them excel. The Pixel buds are no exception. The app makes checking the battery life of the case or each bud individually very easy. In the app, you can also control things like equalizer settings, or make the buds ring if you've misplaced them. Other cool additions are options like the buds turning volume down if they detect conversations. This works very well in my experience, making sure you don't need to remove them for a quick conversation. If you have a compatible device, you can also enable spatial audio which is a very welcome addition. You can have the audio move with youz which is a pretty unique sounding experience. - Hardware The buds themselves feel pretty comfortable to wear. One issue I continuously have though, it seems no matter what size attachment I use, I always have earbuds fall out. The Pixel buds solve this with the twist to adjust. Once I've twisted them in place, I couldn't get them to fall out when I tried. The gestures work very well too. From enabling/disabling the conversation detection, or simply controlling volume, they worked consistently and I never struggled to control them. The case is also a high point for me. It's subtle design, and indicator light are great. It's a small container that charges a d makes pairing simple. The way the buds magnetically snap into place is great, and the case has that satisfying little click as you close them. - Audio quality These sound excellent, with their nice crisp, clean sounding highs, and good bass. Hearing all the intricate parts of music and moves, while letting the noise cancellation do its thing. And the noise cancellation is also excellent. I was able to listen completely distraction-free using these. If you're looking for an excellent pair of earbuds, these Pixel Buds Pro 2 are an easy recommendation.

The earbuds fit perfectly in my ears right out of the box and like all things Google - it's really intuitive to get started. I've only owned these wireless earbuds and use a Samsung Galaxy S25+ so airpods would be the only ones out of the question. Based on several reviews - these seemed like the best deal for me. That's probably correct after 2 months of use. Battery life - EXCELLENT! I've only needed to charge them twice! I use them almost exclusively for dog walks, which totals up to perhaps 6-8 hours per week. Noise Cancellation - EXCELLENT - when using this, the outside world is pretty invisible and I'm only hearing my music. **however here's my complaint. Because I walk in a busy area sometimes, I prefer to use transparent mode. This works great, but My issue is that it doesn't stay in transparent mode each time I turn on the headphones. I'd like it to remember the last setting. Mic - GOOD - no complaints about my voice and the quality of my audio on calls from those on the other end, however I haven't found a way to enable the other type of noise cancellation. how can i have the MIC focus only on me and drown out the background noise so the person I'm speaking to doesn't know if I'm walking my dog while on with them? :) Overall - I'd recommend these, they're comfortable, easy and work great!

Really impressed! The sound is just chef's kiss – so rich and clear. Nose cancelling is great!Super comfy in my ears too, I can wear them for hours. Plus, they just work – seamless with my Pixel phone and switching between devices is a breeze. Battery life is solid. Honestly, they nailed it. Definitely worth the upgrade! My only issue is the fit with one of my ears. Most likely it is the fault with my own ear, but a bummer none the less.
